Stock nav fading?

Hey guys I ended up taking my aftermarket touchscreen pioneer out and ordering a stock nav unit... Have a ?... It has some paint fading on the button and knobs... Was wondering if anybody has had that prob and what to do about fixing it.. I know the make dash paint in a spray can but idk if it would look right.. Any suggestions?

Re: Stock nav fading?

I took both the volume nob and channel changer nob off and painted them with plastidip(all i had) and clear coat. looks much better. As for the other buttons, If you want to loose the light bubbles or have them really dark, you can take ur headunit out tape off everything but the buttons and paint them as well, but its alot of work and u need to put a bag around the rest of the unit so spray doesn't get inside.

I may be able to find some before and after pics of the nobs, I havent fixed the radio buttons yet though, their not that bad yet...good tip for when ur spraying nobs, if you have an extendable magnent, just extend it and stick the nob on the end of it(theirs a little metal inside the nob that will keep em hooked up). worked great when I sprayed mine.

Found em!

In case you dont know, to remove the nobs just pull, they may be intimidating at first, but you won't break them lol.

Looks good man I think I'm going to try the dash paint bc the buttons on the left and both knobs are pretty rough but I got the unit for a lot cheaper then most of them are priced for on eBay... N thanks for the knob trick ill have to use that
